Having problems with your Samsung Digital Cameras ?

A black spot appears top middle of the screen and comes out on photos as well. The more zoom I use, the more it comes into focus. Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome to FixYa!\015\012\015\012That spot is definitely dirt blocking the optic lens. You will need to take it to the service to clean the dirt. It has sensitive components that will surely need an on hand expertise. Once removed you'll be good.\015\012\015\012Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Not focusing I'm in the process of attempting to help my friend fix his DMC-FX9 camera. The problem is that it doesn't tend to focus on ANYTHING. It will focus if you zoom in [about halfway)or use macro, but it won't focus if it's not zoomed in. I tried changing the focusing modes, the photo modes. I don't know what else to do, has anyone else run into this problem? He's had the camera for to long to return it, so I'm hoping that I can help him make it usable again. [This problem happens indoor

Faint lines running through the lcd and out of focus pictures with drawn out images. The camara was working normally. I transferred the photos to my computer using a usb cable. I used it once after that, and the pictures were fine. Now on swithing the camera on, the LCD screen has very faint lines running through it and when you take a pic, they come out very blurred and out of focus. Please help. [email protected]

However almost all my photos come out either blurry or out of focus? what are the settings that i have to adjust to solve this problem? Please help! I am soo grateful and thankful Jas

Okay, if you're getting sharper pictures with a stable camera, that indicates that the shutter speed is too slow. You can get a faster shutter speed by using a higher ISO. You'll get noisier pictures, though.Up close, you're not going to ...

LCD White-out I have had this Fuji FinePix A350 since Christmas 2006. This August while on vacation and taking quite a few pictures with a new 1GB XD card, the LCD screen would come on with a blank white screen as the camera was turned on. I continued to take photos using the optical viewfinder to frame my pictures, hoping that it was still working even if I couldn't view them. Fortunately, all the photos did come out fine even though some were totally out of focus (focusing was sometimes a prob

With camera on the AUTO setting, I can't seem to take clear, focused photos. Nearly all of them are out of focus or blurry. Does not matter if it is in the day time or at night. Also, when using the ZOOM function the photos are mostly out of focus. What can I try to take clear photos again? Thank you.

If I take a photo without zooming, the photo is in focus. If I try to get a closer photo by zooming in, it comes out blurred.

Picture error I have an Olympus SP-51OUZ camera. Nearly every photo I take, when reviewed, comes up with 'picture error' and a big warning exclamation mark (in red on a blue background). Only about 1 in 20 photos taken are ok. I have formatted the card but it still happens. When I used the card on my laptop it scanned it & said there were no problems with it. Obviously it's a nightmare because I have to review every single photo to check it has come out! Please help! Rachel

If you have a combo media-reader, put the xD card in that and connect it to computer. Copy all images through the reader. Then format the xD card. Now it should work okay. ...

I make photos of my oil paintings - placing the painting on the floor and shooting down. The "auto focus" will not focus on some paintings and the photos are blurry. I have tried all settings tn "Manual" mode plus using the other shooting mode. Some paintings just will not be in focus!
Any help will be most gratefully appreciated.
Ken B.

I don't know how close you need to be to the paintings, but if it's close enough to need the "macro"setting, then you need to activate it for close focussing. ...

I can't get my camera to automatically focus on upclose objects. It always used to work but it now doesn't. A small frame used to come on the screen to give me a chance to auto focus without the zoom.

Try locating the macro button which looks like a small flower. When you press that the camera will focus on close up obejects (usually <1-2 ft). ...

How do I use the Panasonic Photo Fun program. My camera did not come with a how to manual. I need step by step. I have downloaded photos and now don't know what to do. I used Kodak Easyshare which was very simple. This is very different. Thanks for the help.

Fish photographing I have a HP 3.5 (i think) and it takes great pictures of family pets etc ... but, how do I take clear pictures of fish? Yeah, things in water it doesn't capture so well, everything comes out very blurry.
I use a lot of light, don't zoom, use the action settings and all that jazz, but still it doesn't come out nice.
Please help me

I am using Canon 1000D dslr for more than 18months, it was working fine until last Sunday. I went outside and started taking few shots... it was not focusing properly (or should I say not at all!) and pictures are coming blurred. When I press the shutter button half, it should run the motor (in autofocus mode) and focus, but it is not doing anything (i.e. no red dots are coming)... what could be the problem? Thanks for any help.................

The autofocus motor could be be broken, or the lens may not be communicating correctly with the camera. One thing that can help if it's not communicating correctly is to clean the lens contacts. If you take the lens off, you should see some gold plat ...

Focus problem Hi all. I have a Canon 300D Rebel camera and I find there is a major problem with the focusing - most pictures come out too soft whether I'm on Auto or Manual. I've got a job on Monday and intend to use that camera so I wonder if anyone can help get the best out of the focus. Thanks in advance.

I'm using my Nikon coolpix 8700 to take photos of museum objects so the photos need to be of a fairly high standard, but the photos are coming out just slightly out of focus. Where am I going wrong? Thanks

If these are close up photos, the depth of field will be shallow. You need to raise the ISO to force the camera to close down the aperture and increase the depth of field. Also, the use of a tripod or monopod will greatly increase your chances of tak ...

Hi..... Years ago I purchased a Vivitar Series 1 70-210 zoom lens with macro to fit my Konica SLRs. I also aquired a similar lense to fit my Minolta 101b.
I have recently bought a Sony A100 digital SLR and would like to know if there are any converter rings available to use my old lenses on the new camera.
I just love the one-stop zoom and focus operation.
Any help appreciated

also a few times the camera would shut down only displaying a small number in the corner of the screen E18 but i don't no what this means.

The E18 error happens on Canon cameras usually when the lens is jammed when extending. The error is so (in)famous that it has it own website where you can find help and advice on how to fix it. You can view the site by clicking the link underli ...
